That's Abraham Lincoln on the stump as an abolitionist, not the tragic and flawed chief magistrate. The reason is not hard to find, Dr. Paul argues from principles while his opponents argue back from consequences. The impact of the former kind of oratory is to ratify and strengthen the moral sense of the audience, while of impact of consequentialism is to play on the fears of the citizenry. I won't hazard a guess if he will win or not, but, as in the case of Lincolin, rhetoric has its own power of turning the tables on supposed shoe-ins and annointing unlikely Davids. Either way Dr. Paul is adding to, not depleting, the moral capital of America's public culture...which is amazing enough!

Someone put a vid on YouTube about it, every time Paul is mentioned people laugh and giggle. They won't be laughing once the voting starts.

He is indeed the best and the brightest, as well the most humanistic.
